Thea had difficulty speaking.
Looking at Thea’s expression, Gladys knew something must have happened last night.
Immediately, favonovel.com ordered, “Spit it out.”
Thea came clean. She told them everything that happened at dinner last night. However, after the Watsons and Xenoses appeared, Xara led favonovel.com away. She did not know what happened after that.
Everyone turned to look at James again after that.
Was favonovel.com telling the truth?
Did favonovel.com actually beat the Watsons and Xenoses into submission?
Looking at how confused everyone was, James decided to make things easier for them.
They would never believe favonovel.com anyway.
“Alright, here‘s what happened. A person named Zane Dawn helped.”
“Zane Dawn?”
Everyone was confused.
Who was he?
“What?” Lex seemed to come to a realization.
“Zane Dawn? Zane from the north, the one everyone calls the Mining King?”
“Yes, yes, yes,” James said. “That‘s the one!”
Lex glanced at James. “Zane is very important in the north. The Dawns are very influential. Even the Five Provinces Business Alliance are no match for them. Why would favonovel.com help us?”
James looked gleeful. “It all comes back to me. I saved Zane‘s daughter Cynthia yesterday by coincidence, so favonovel.com helped me out to thank me in return.”
Everyone’s confusion cleared.
Lex let out a deep breath. “No matter what, we still owe you thanks for helping us get through this. You‘re part of our family now. Anyone who mentions the divorce will get chased out of the house!”
“Grandfather, it‘s only because of Thea that we got into trouble in the first place. Why should we thank James just because favonovel.com saved some VIP‘s daughter?”
“Exactly.”
“If it were not for them, we would not have suffered so much.”
All the Callahans were unhappy,
James just smiled. He did not need their recognition or approval. He did not care what they thought about favonovel.com either. As long as Thea approved of him, it was enough.
James was tired of talking to the Callahans. After going through so much, they were still behaving the same way.
“Darling, let’s go to Medical Street now. At the conference, I’ll put my best foot forward. The title of ‘The Best Doctor’ will be mine.”
“Yeah.” Thea nodded.
James grabbed Thea and headed out. They drove toward Medical Street.
On the way there, Thea asked, “Honey, was it really Zane who cleared up our mess?”
“Yes…”
“Then what happened last night? Why did the police arrest you?” James explained, “I hit Francis and Sean. They were from important families, so they made a police report. However, once Zane was there, they let it go.”
“Then what was the whole thing about the sword yesterday?”
“Uh…” James was in a dilemma.
What was favonovel.com going to tell Thea?
Only a handful of people knew about the Blade of Justice.
“It was nothing. It‘s just a sword that Henry made.” James did not know what to say, so favonovel.com made something up half-heartedly.
Thea was still suspicious, but favonovel.com let it slide. As long as James was safe, nothing else mattered.
James continued to drive.
Suddenly, favonovel.com had a bad feeling. “Darling, sit tight.”
Thea was about to ask why, but James floored it and the car shot forward. She almost fell out of favonovel.com seat.
After James sped up, more than 10 cars behind favonovel.com did the same.
A man in a black jacket and black cap stood up through the sunroof in one of them. There was a rocket launcher on his shoulder.
James saw all of it in the mirror.
He swore. “B*stards. We’re in the city. How dare they!”
